LIQUID LIGHT
‘She released her dreams to the universe and sent them out into the dark waters of the night... And they danced across the surface in a surreal pool of angelic liquid light.’
Liquid Light: The Art of Manifestation
The dark void that is our mind has the ability to become a canvas that begins to paint with the essence of our light, and as we cast our dreams and desires out into our conscious worlds they can come to life in a surreal dance of beauty and of light. There is a hunger in the void, a dark whisper that calls us and as the cosmos breathes in our desires, waiting for us to shape them, to ignite them, we can together shape them into being. Every thought is a trembling ember flickering to show us what is possible.
We are creatures of both the dark and the light, we are shadows and luminescence, moving between the known and the unspoken, between what is and what could be. Science tells us that the universe is not empty but electric—an endless field of energy, shifting, bending, folding in on itself. Our minds, too, are expansive galaxies, pulsing with neural storms, birthing constellations of thought that shimmer against the dark. Inside our bodies, beneath the blood and bone and flesh, the brain hums like a restless machine, an artist shaping the world within us. And as we understand the power of our own neuroplasticity, we can begin to comprehend the mind’s ability to reshape itself and the truth that we are far from bound by fate and experience, but by the architecture of our own thoughts and the landscape we shape.
There is a unique magic hidden within the mind, and the powerful individual ability to see and believe something into existence. Science calls this phenomenon ‘the placebo effect’. Proven time and time again, the power of the mind and thought can shape reality, and when fully convinced, can bend reality to its will. Pain fades, diseases recede, symptoms disappear, all because the brain accepts the illusion as truth and commands the body to obey.
So what does this mean for our dreams, our desires, our deepest wishes? If belief alone can heal the body, can it not also shape the world around us? If the mind is powerful enough to alter biology, it is also powerful enough to alter other forms of ‘reality’. The placebo effect is more than a medical curiosity; it is a glimpse into the raw power of human consciousness, a reminder that our expectations shape our reality and that we are all powerful creators capable of more than we dare to imagine. What we truly believe, deep within our being, will manifest.
The quantum field is an unseen web of energy that connects all things, and one that responds to the observer. The double-slit experiment in physics has shown that the mere act of watching a particle changes its behaviour. Reality bends under the weight of our awareness. What we focus on, we invite. What we believe in, we make real. Manifestation is not wishing, not a foolish hope adopted by the new age spiritualist whispered into the void. It is an act of creation, an alchemical process of transforming thought into form. The Reticular Activating System (RAS), a network in the brainstem, filters the vast ocean of information around us, choosing what we see, notice, what we attract, what we allow into our world. When we set an intention, when we believe in it without hesitation, our RAS begins to highlight the paths, the opportunities, the signs leading us there. Just as a light that is shone in the darkness becomes a beacon that shifts our direction.
But light cannot exist without shadow. For every luminous vision, there is a darkness that has ignited it and threatens to consume it, a chasm of doubt, and fear. The mind is a battlefield between radiance and oblivion, between creation and destruction. It is of the light and the dark, and we are too, this living juxtaposition forever to be navigated. There is a ritual to belief, the repetition of thought, the poetry of action, the unwavering decision to hold onto a vision even when we and the world try to take it away. The ancients understood this in ways we have forgotten. They cast their wishes into the wind, whispered them into firelight, scrawled them onto cave walls, believing that words, thoughts made manifest, had the power to bend the world. The mind does not require evidence but rather creates its proof through desire, focus and intention. We are but artists painting our new realities onto the vast canvases of time. And as we send our dreams into the darkness, they drift like lanterns above a midnight sky.
The universe is not a void. It is a mirror, of your darkness and the beauty of your light…
